I'd like for you to turn to Genesis 2 verse 5, please

00:17

Genesis 2 verse 5 And Greg, will you read that verse to me, please?

01:06

It is by this verse. I didn't mention this when we were going through But it is by this verse

01:15

That we know that the Lord made everything in its mature state. I Know I asked the question.

01:27

How old would the tree have been if you had cut it down and counted the rings?

01:34

I Don't know the yes

01:58

That's right. It was full -grown now Based upon this verse how old was the first rock?

02:08

How old was the first Whatever It just stands to reason

02:19

That the Lord made everything rocks and all in a very mature state

02:26

So if we go back and look at everything We would miscalculate

02:35

The Carbon dating system that Several years ago come into effect

02:45

Cannot go any further back than the flood Because it depends upon direct sunlight and there was none and There was not a man to till the ground

03:14

He that means that he made everything Then he put man in it

03:20

There wasn't man here to till the ground with a young plant with To get things to grow they were all grown when he put them here

03:35

God prepared the earth and everything the whole cosmos

03:41

Then he made man So he had everything ready everything in the mature state

03:50

Then he put man in it to take care of it Now Are there any other questions about that?

04:14

Yes, I remember That's right

04:39

The evolutionists are Not true science now true science supports the

04:44

Bible But there that's little known true science

04:51

But they're way off and I think that God made it that way So they could not pinpoint when it come into existence

05:01

Now I asked you last week to come with a list of things That Noah saw for the first time

05:11

And I want to hear some things now Joy Joy You've had a whole week to think about this and I know you thought of nothing else

05:27

But name for me one thing All right.

05:44

I had that at the head of my list now Paul I want you to move up here by your grandfather.

05:53

I Can't see back there You Don't have to sit by your grandmother.

06:00

No come up one You mess with me.

06:06

I'll move you up another one You're gonna sit halfway between that's all right

06:18

Now Paul what does it take to cause us to see a rainbow

06:33

Sunshine It takes a clear sky As well as a stormy sky

06:43

Noah could not see a rainbow while he was on the ark Because it was a storm

06:50

Everything clouds were every place and the wrong rainbow didn't shine But it did when he came out of the ark

07:01

Well, I'm afraid you want to say something All right,

07:07

Paul Paul what was another thing that Noah saw?

07:15

Mountains there hadn't been mountains until the flood

07:21

The terrain was smooth The ocean was at a depth

07:31

I don't know how deep but not as it is now Greg why why did the mountains come into being at this time?

07:53

All right What was another reason? Paul All right, joy

08:25

Well, there were rivers to begin with the canopy collapsed

08:33

And all of that water Fell on the earth now if the earth had remained smooth it would have been a ball of water

08:46

But by Gouging out the earth and raising the mountains the water had a place to go

08:57

Now what was another thing that Noah saw either on the ark or immediately after The All right the wind

09:21

He had never felt wind like this. It was tremendous

09:28

And what caused the wind other than God what? Greg what caused the wind to blow?

09:41

All right Lightning thunder

09:46

He He had never seen lightning before but he saw it while he was on the ark.

09:53

I'm sure and he heard the thunder So many times we hear people say don't get struck by thunder

10:02

How is that possible? He could see up yes

10:15

While we're there, why was it necessary that he could see up and not down David?

10:28

Yes Well, he could have seen out and down If it'd been a window so that he could but he couldn't

10:47

All right David what's another thing that he saw for the first time? beg your pardon

11:00

Hold the sky. All right. He had never seen it before The blue sky and clouds

11:08

Something new to him Greg what what?

11:17

Stars he had never seen them sky

11:27

Someone named something else No, huh Moon All right something else

11:49

It was there but they couldn't see it They couldn't now

12:03

There was a canopy of water all around and the sunlight filtered through that water.

12:09

Well the moonlight did too So Sun and Moon were out there All right, they saw the absence of this pink glow that was every place

12:27

Something else Paul Rack your brain

12:46

What about the seasons? There had never been seasons before Now, what do

12:55

I mean by season Greg? Yes but Snow freezing hot cold

13:18

Why did all of this come about Paul Well, that's true.

13:35

But that wasn't the main reason that caused the seasons Greg The earth tilted twenty two and a half degrees which created the

13:51

North Pole and the South Pole ice caps Didn't create the North and South Pole, but it did the ice that was all over and it gave us our seasons

14:05

What about the fear of animals David? Yes These are a few things

14:23

Yes No was now able to eat meat he hadn't before the animals had not before Why did all of this come about David?

15:03

The earth would not produce as it had prior to the flood now

15:15

I Want to go back for today's lesson And I want you to start at the beginning and let's review

15:26

From the beginning Now in the beginning was

15:33

God God was He existed prior to all of this and he spoke all of this into a created form

15:46

We say created but he did only one act of creating and that's when he spoke the mass

15:54

So we have a very logical Process Progression if you please of his

16:05

Bringing everything in its time Out into the open

16:15

After the creation and we go through all the steps of creating including man

16:25

What was the next great thing with man David Mm -hmm

16:41

No, we've left the flood We've gone back to the first of Genesis and I want to go through the steps up to the ninth chapter

16:57

We're starting Genesis 1 After man came into being and the woman and The woman was a descendant of Adam What was the next great step?

17:14

David Yes All right

17:45

Yes It was a trip a stumble a a falling away a turning their back on God Do you understand that term?

17:59

They literally turned their back on God Now in turning their back

18:08

The Bible doesn't say that but it implies that Because they no longer look for him.

18:15

They look for something else In turning their back on God, do you see how our time has been running backwards?

18:28

We think it's running forward all of the time it's progressively getting later and later in life

18:36

Closer and closer to death But In reality the clocks running backwards and we think it's forward

18:49

Turning their back on God Caused everything to decay

18:56

Paul Everything was dying when when

19:09

Adam and Eve Hid themselves from the Lord How did they know to hide?

19:18

It was because of shame Greg, how did they know shame? Consequence of sin so sin comes into the world and from the beginning

19:41

The Lord pointed out the two seeds That were would come into the world

19:48

Before there was ever a child born. There was the law established that there would be some of them

19:56

That would be saved and some would not be saved Now we've got the garden behind us

20:06

Greg, what's the next step? No, the garden is behind us

20:27

No After the garden didn't they have to be driven out? So they were driven out joy, what does it mean they were driven out?

20:48

He literally Put them out of the garden Because they could not remain

20:56

David. Why couldn't they remain in the garden? And God would not permit that So it was the mercy of God That drove them out of the garden

21:16

They are going to have to work for their food The Bible literally says by the bridge of your nose you will sweat from work and That's heavy work

21:33

Now the next great event What do we see joy? After they were put out of the garden

22:06

All right, she conceived and bear She bare two sons

22:18

Twins Who were they Paul? Yes, Cain and Abel twins

22:28

Which came first? Cain at the sacrifice or worship of God that were given and we know that must have known that Adam instructed these men and how to offer a sacrifice

22:51

We're not told that but supposition tells us that Cain's sacrifice was not accepted and Abel's was

23:04

David. Can you explain why? That's right

23:47

That spells out the The things that he will accept and things that he will not

23:56

Now we bring the offering of our hands we've done that today We do it during the week our talent our time our money that's all product of our hands

24:11

But Paul we have to bring a blood sacrifice how do we as Christians do that?

24:23

Speak up Speak up All right, we repent but What makes or do we bring a blood sacrifice?

24:50

All right So what do we bring? Well, we bring ourselves

25:01

Joy, tell him what what's our blood sacrifice? Yes the blood of Jesus Christ now

25:12

Abel knew that He did not know names. He didn't know things but he knew to bring a blood sacrifice and He did that for our sake

25:26

He did it to show us that we to bring a blood sacrifice Now David man cannot come to God without a blood sacrifice and That blood sacrifice being

25:42

Jesus Christ himself How is it that the whole world thinks they bring a a blood sacrifice

26:09

That's right. He will not accept anything that does not originate with him

26:28

That's right we're full of blemishes and And we can offer to God the blood of Christ We have offered every time we come to him.

26:42

It's offered And it's offered continually now

26:49

Cain and Abel brought a sacrifice. What's the next thing that appears on the calendar? joy joy

27:17

Well, we saw the two We saw the two seeds of before Cain and Abel after Cain and Abel and Cain was angry

27:30

He says that God but he was really angry with himself What took place next?

27:39

I Think you said murder He murdered his brother

27:45

Can you imagine such an awful thing now Greg we've become

27:58

Unethicized to this word murder We hear it every day. There's people killed every day

28:06

More now than I've noticed in Dallas. It's more and more all of the time

28:12

And I hate to say it but it's because the Mexicans and the Negroes were moving in more and more all of the time

28:20

Now white man kills Don't misunderstand But why is murder?

28:30

Why is taking a life such an affront to God? Great All right.

28:52

Now you said it's usurping That's from man's viewpoint, isn't it?

29:01

Not from God keeps the two separate Because Nothing occurs on earth except it was ordained of God that means

29:14

This man kills this man that was ordained of God, but we have to answer for our own sins

29:21

All right, the murder of Abel then we go along and What's the next thing that comes up David All right

30:05

We have the beginning of working with our hands in metal and wood and stone and everything

30:16

Now they're beginning to divide We see those that worship

30:25

The Lord and those that worship Satan It's beginning to divide

30:35

Was the world getting better or worse Paul but Worse, I don't know why

30:47

I can't understand you The world is getting worse and worse and worse and worse

30:56

I read a Paragraph Telling about how the embryo of every idea that they had was evil.

31:09

So The very fountain from which the idea of the embryo and the ideas come was evil

31:19

So the next thing that appears is what Greg All right, they're trying to erase that line

31:42

They intermarry They're still intermarrying All right

31:50

They intermarry there was The Bible uses the term giant by but we mean not giant physically

32:00

But mentally they were very intelligent people You know, that's something that we

32:07

Fall into sometimes we're thinking that right now this generation is the only smart people alive

32:15

That all of the other people Were just building up to this Well, we may know more but we're not any smarter

32:24

The the people during the time before the flood were very very intelligent

32:34

David how many people were on earth at the time of the flood? Lots and lots and lots of people there could have been as many as are here now,

33:01

I don't know we think that the flood was just a little boat in a small area and It involved those people

33:10

Don't kid yourself It was a local flood, but it was local as far as this planet was concerned

33:20

Now What's the next thing Greg All right

33:40

We have word coming to Noah No, I want you to build a box

33:47

I want you to build a boat build a ship build an ark Now don't think that ark was some little thing it was longer than a football field 40 foot high 75 foot wide.

34:04

It was a tremendous box Can you imagine how

34:13

Fred how old was Noah when he built the ark? 600 years old

34:22

Now Paul, I can't imagine that in myself living till you're 600 but suppose

34:30

That here's a 600 year old man He's working on the ark been working on for 120 years and he's trying to fit this

34:44

Timber on the side His wife a 600 old woman holding a lantern so he can see

34:55

Fussing that Noah to come in because she has supper ready And he's fussing at her because she won't leave him alone because he wants to get this plank in because he doesn't know when the floods coming and He's got to do it, right

35:16

What Paul what if he had left a hole someplace or if he had not

35:22

Sealed the timber tight against the other timber. What would have happened? It would have been awful

35:37

But he didn't do that Now his 600 year old wife was my

35:44

Concoction because we're not told of it. We know he had a wife Because he had some sons

35:52

David who were the sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth From Shem we get the present -day

36:05

Jew From Ham we get the present -day black man

36:12

And Japheth takes care of all of the rest They get on board

36:25

Paul who shut the door to the ark God shut them in At the same time he shut everybody else out

36:40

Noah was the only righteous man on earth His sons were not so But here they are with all of the animals there's still peace among the animals

36:58

He had to He couldn't just go in and forget the animals

37:05

He had to feed them and Gather all of the food that would last for all of the trip, and he'd not know how long the trip was

37:15

But the Lord saw to it that the feed and the trip equaled and he

37:27

He goes in he and his family and how many people were in his family

37:33

Paul? How many?

37:43

Eight eight souls, it's important that it's eight Greg why?

37:56

All right, and the eighth day of the week is the first day of the second week a

38:03

New beginning Now David was everything destroyed besides the ark

38:42

All right, what do you want to say? Everything Everything in which there was the breath of life

38:50

Now we don't think about an insect breathing, but it does All right that brings us up to today

39:01

And I'm going to stop with Genesis we're not going any further

39:06

I Wanted to bring that first part to you The Noah comes out of the ark and He goes back to what he knew before of being a husbandman

39:28

Plants grapes Produces wine this had to take quite a while a year or two

39:39

And He gets drunk and he lays naked in a tent and Cain and Cain's son saw him and they did awful things to him

39:53

And it resulted in a curse on on Cain And I think that curse is still in effect today

40:03

But that'll be a different time and a different story Now for next week

40:12

Will either be in Genesis or Revelation? I have not decided which

40:20

Greg I'm trying to study Revelation I'm not sure that I want to teach it yet, but we'll see

40:29

Now is there anything from anybody? Well There'll be no death during the millennial reign very very interesting

41:30

I said

41:36

Cain I meant Ham Ham gave us a black man

41:42

Anything else from anyone Paul will you dismiss us, please?
